The S 350 CDI L combines a jaw-dropping performance with responsible regard for the environment, evinced by its 'BlueEFFICIENCY' tag - a Mercedes label that consists of a number of performance enhancing measures, ranging from aerodynamic styling to fuel efficiency, without compromising on power.

The saloon's V6 engine, with 4 valves per cylinder, delivers an impressive 210BHP at 4000 RPM with a torque of 490 Nm in a 1600 - 1800 rpm range, reaching a top speed of 250 Kmph with characteristic ease: more than enough power to handle any journey, whether a sedate amble through city streets or a rousing cross-country rally.
